110 BAND-BOOK OF STATISTICS. 

■ FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS. 

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died on the 4th 
of July, 1626. John Adams died in his ninety-first year, 
and was eight years older than Thomas Jefferson ; Thos. 
Jefferson was eight years older than James Madison ; 
James Madison was eight years older than James ^[on- 
roe ; James Monroe was eight years older than John Q. 
Adams. The first five of our Presidents — all men of the 
Revolutionary epoch — ended the terms of their service in 
the sixty-sixth year of their age. 

First Seven Presidents. — Four of the seven were 
from Virginia ; two, of the same name, were from Massa- 
chusetts, and the seventh was from Tennessee. All but 
one were sixty-six years old on leaving ofiice, having 
served two terms ; and one of these who served but one 
term would have been sixty-six years of age at the end 
of another. Three of the seven died on the 4th day of 
July, and two of them on the same day and year. Two 
of them were on the sub-committee of three that drafted 
the Declaration of Independence, and these two died on 
the same day and yeai* the anniversary of the Declara- 
tion of Independence, and jiist half a .century from the 
day of declaration. Of the first five only one had a son, 
and that son was also President. 

Religion of the Presidents. — The religious belief 
of the eighteen persons who have filled the Presidential 
chair in the United States, as indicated by their attend- 
ance upon public worship, and the evidence afforded in 
their writings, may be summed up as follows — Wash- 
ington, Madison, Monroe, Harrison, Tyler, Taylor and 
Buchanan were Episcopalians ; Jefferson, John Adams, 
John Q. Adams and Fillmore were Unitarians ; Jackson 



TREASURERS OF THE UNITED STATES, m 

and Polk were Presbyterians ; Mr. Van Buren was of the 
Dutch Reformed Church ; President Pierce a Trinitarian 
Congregatiorialist ; Lincoln, Presbyterian ; Johnson and 
Grant, Methodist. 

Blue Eyes. — It is said that all the Presidents of the 
United States, except General Harrison, had blue eyes. 
Among the great men of the world the blue eyes appear 
to have been predominant. Socrates, Shakspeare, Locke, 
Bacon, Milton, Goethe, Franklin, Napoleon and Hum- 
boldt, all had blue eyes.

Eleven Rebellions in the United States. 

Since the organization of the Federal Government eleven at- 
tempts have been made to resist its authority. The first was in 
1782 — a conspiracy of some of the officers of the Federal Army to 
consolidate the thirteen States into one, and confer the supreme 
power upon Washington. The second in 1787, called Shay's In- 
surrection, in Massachusetts. The third in 1194, called the 
Whisky Insurrection of Pennsylvania. The fourth in 1814, by 
the Hartford Convention. The fifth in 1820, on the question of 
the admission of Missouri into the Union. The sixth was a col- 
lision between the Legislature of Georgia and the Federal Gov- 
ernment in regard to the lands given to the Creek Indians. The 
seventh was in 1830, with the Cherokees in Georgia. The eighth 
■was the memorable nullifying ordinance of South Carolina, in 
1832. The ninth was in 1842, in Rhode Island, between the Suf- 
frage Association and the State authorities. The tenth was in 
1856, on the part of Mormons, who resisted the Federal authori- 
ties. The eleventh was the late attempt at Secession.

PASSAGES FROM THE LIFE OF CHARLES KNIGHT, 
Publisher, Author and Leader in the Work of Popular Edu- 
cation ; Editor of the "Penny Encyclopaedia," "The Libraries of Useful and 
Entertaining Knowledge " and " The Popular History of England." Revised 
and Abridged from the English Edition. Large i2mo, about 450 pp. With 
Portrait. 

The life of a man like Charles Knight, who may be said to have founded that 
system of Popular Education which brings the highest literature of the language 
within the reach of the lowest of the people, should possess a special interest for 
readers in a nation at the basis of whose institutions such a system must lie. 
The publication of the " Penny Encyclopaedia " and " The Library of Useful 
Knowledge " completely revolutionized the whole method of teaching the Eng- 
lish people. Mr. Knight was, perhaps, the first to perceive that text-books 
alone could not supply all that was necessary to the development of popular in 
telligence. What was required to supplement the text-books had hitherto 
been accessible only to the wealthier classes, but in the admirable series of works 
planned by Mr. Knight, the clearest scientific information on the one hand, and 
on the other a knowledge of the higher litei-ature, were placed within the reach 
of every member of the poorer and working classes. 

Apart from this work, Mr. Knight's life was interesting from his association 
during a most important half century with nearly all classes of the leading and 
thinking men of Great Britain. The stoiy of his labors is simply and dramat- 
ically told in his own language, which has been left unchanged as far as was 
consistent with the slight abridgement that it has been considered advisable to 
make from the more voluminous English edition.

edition, and is now far from complete.)
